Combination skin

Combination skin type

The most typical thing for combination skin is that there are both oily and dry areas on the face. The oily and shiny areas of the face are usually in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), while the skin around the cheeks and eyes is either dry and tight or normal. Combination skin is also one of the most common and hereditary skin types.

Combination skin may have more blackheads and enlarged pores on the forehead and chin—scaly areas from dry areas such as the cheekbones.

There are more sebaceous glands on the forehead, nose, and chin, which take care of the softness and elasticity of the skin. With combination skin, the glands in the skin area work more actively, which causes the skin to become greasy. Environmental factors and lifestyle also have a significant impact on the well-being of the skin. The use of solid products causes excessive sebum production, which worsens the skin of the T-zone for both skin types and, at the same time, dries out other areas of the face even more.

Treatment for combination skin required balance. Finding suitable skin care products can be challenging.
